Hi All
Looking through the update notes for next week, a thought occurred.
Is it just me that thinks colonisation is extremely complicated?
It may just be my perception as I've not tried it.
Nope!
not just you!....while I'm pretty much okay with the initial claiming part, orbital station construction and some minor other stuff I'm not fully understanding this weeks post notes by Paul Crowther on the new update content coming next Wednesday concerning colonisation.
Perhaps when I've downloaded that update and get some more 'hands on' experience trying stuff out etc. I might have a better idea of how it all should work!
Colonisation looks as if it is going to be like many other activities in the game, as complicated as you want to make it.
If you just want to build a colony then it is just
- Find a system
- Find somewhere in range to buy the license
- Place the beacon (within 24 hours)
- Select the Primary Port you fancy building
- Haul the stuff required for the Primary Port (within 4 weeks) others can help
- Add anything else you fancy as and when you want to.
If you want to have certain things or activities available, or generate a small passive income, or play politics then you will have to pay attention to what goes where.
Numbers 1 to 5 I'm okay with now that I've completed two stations
, number 6 is the confusing part for me at the moment. When we get the update I'm hoping that the rest of it (the update notes and pictorial examples) with some more hands on experience will hopefully be more understandable. I get the impression that the Colonisation user interface will have some additional content with the update?... so maybe that will also be helpful.
What am I doing
...well I've just bought the class 4 engineered SCO drive and I'm currently at Farseer's to see if I can add any experimental stuff to it. I'm also going to upgrade / engineer the ships thrusters (experimental effects) too.
There's a few of the Cobras other modules I want to engineer as well. I'll probably top up some of the materials / data I've used up engineering those modules, either collecting stuff in space, on planets and or missions later on this week.
I might also visit those Titan sites....I'm down to 1 drive component so I'm aiming to at least get another one or several. Incidentally, I did a search on Inara to see if any player owned carriers were selling any titan drive components, seems no one does....interesting!
